LONDON, July pa dispatch from
st. Paul de Leanda says: The Stanley
expedition arrived here May %, at the
confluence of the Aruwimi and the Con-
90, between Bangolas station and Stan
ley's falls, with only a few i'll. Stanley
made his camp on the heights bordering
the river bank of Aruwimi, commanding
the surrounding country. The weather
was fine and with prospects for revictua-
ling favorable. On June 2S Stanley
started for Wadelai with an escort of five
European officers and eight men, leaving
the remainder under an officer in the
camp on the Aruwimi. At Bona it was
thought it would take Stanley two months
to reach Wadelai or to meet Emin Bey's
camp. 1t is expected that the steamer
Stanley, whose engines were greatly
strained by the difficult passage up the
river, would be able to start June 3 on
the return to Leopoldville, where she
would repair. She would then reascend
the river to Aruwimi with stores left at
Stanley's Pool and for the men left at
Bolobo under Capt. Barttelot.

PTTsBURG, July 22.-The coke strike
just ended was one of the most stubbornly
contested battles ever fought between
capital and labor. For eleven weeks and
four days the fight went on The amount
of money lost by idleness cannot be cal
culated, but it reaches millions. When
the strike began fnur-fifths of the IL, zoo
men in the region had money OF their
own, but few of them now have money
enough to take them out of the district if
they wanted to leave. The operators
also have been heavy losers. The pumps
have been kept running at all the pits,
and yard and pit bosses, superintendent,
and clerks have been drawing salaries and
mules have been getting fat on oats
and hay that they did not earn.
At West Leisenring where the Pinker-
ton men have been stationed the expense
has been over 81. 900 a day since the
strike began. Beside this, the ovens have
become cold and badly out of repair. Full
ly a third of them all over the region will
have to be overhauled before coal can be
put into them. Then, too, the coke trade
has fallen off and will take time and
money to build it up again. 1t is est
mated that the actual expenses to opera
tors has been from 800, 900 to 81, 900, :
600, while their loss entire will foot over
81, 900, 900.

Tramps Attack a Train.

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-Trainmen of the
Vandalia train, due here last night, but
which did not arrive until between II and
a. m, report at Long Point, this side of
Indianapolis, that the conductor discov-
cred four rough looking men on the rear
platform of the baggage car. He ordered
them off, but as the train started they got
on the rear of the tender, where they
were all again found when the train
reached Greenup crossing. They were
then forcibly elected from the train and
they moved away, but as the train was
passing a clump OF bushes near the cross
ing they opened fire from revolvers and
sent some twenty bullets whizzing through
the baggage and express cars and pas
senger coaches. Luckily nobody was hit,
but there wers several narrow escapes.
The train was brought to a halt and a
posse of citizens organized at once and a
systematic search was begun. [: is
